THE MANNING TIMES.

What (he Ailiance Can Do.
The present seasom it now seems
will be a very prosperous one for
Southern farmers. Not only has a
large cotton crop been made, but the
South has produced the largest crops
of vegetables, fruits, hay, forage and
grain that have ever before been
known. This places the farmer in a
very independent position. He has
produced at home much that he used
formerly to buy away from home.
He has abandoned, to a great extent
the all-cotton policy, a policy that
was ruinous to the prosperity of this
section. For, value as we may our
manufacturing and mining interests,
and that they are of the utmost im
portance none can doubt, the pros
perity of the South must ever rest
mainly upon its farming interest.
The Farmers' Alliance which exists
in every Southern State, and which
has aceomplished so much in its fight
with the jute trust, should see to it
that Southern farmers take no back
ward steps, but that they continue to
advance on the road of progress on
which they have entered. It must
insist that they shall raise corn and
meat enough for their sustenance,
and increase the number of articles
raised or produced at home for home
consumption. The yield of corn has
been so prolific in the South that
there never was a more opportune
time for the farmers to raise their
own meat. With a cotton crop of
. -s ey value this year of from $350,
006000 to $400,000,000 the South will
lever be in a better condition to
pull itself out of the thralldom of
debt and dependence. When it gets
out let, it stay out. Many of our
farmers scarcely know the possibili
ties of the land they cultivate. Many
also know' little of the pleasure and
comfort that a life in the country can
give. With their eyes fixed on the
crops that ?Iiey can sell, they have
forgotten that a little extra care
and labor would produce vegetables,
fruits, and other home comforts,
would fill their yards with poultry,
and their dairies with milk and but
ter.
People 'ought to get all the enjoy
ment out of life that is possible. The
farmer's life ought to be a happy and
comfortable one. If the Farmers'
Alliances of the various Southern
States address themselves to the
work that we have indicated they
will help the farmers of. the South
more than they can in any other way.
There are not only trusts to be
fought, but mistaken ideas and
wrong notions that have been the
growth of years. If the Alliances
dispel these they will indeed benefit
the farmer-benefit him in some
cases in spite of himself.-renC1ille

How to Bathe.
Everybody washes his hands and
face.
Reflect for a moment upon the ex
.traordinary refreshment given by the
ablution, and then multiply it a thou
sand fold and you have an idea of the
good gained by a daily morning and
a daily evening all over bath.
But how to bathe.
Many people find bathing a physi
cal distress, a burden, a discomfort,
by reason for the trouble they make
out of it. There are thousands and
thousands of unfortunates here who
have no bathing tubs, but I doubt if
there is a laborer's family so poor
that a moveable tub cannot be afford
ed, and water runs in all our tene
ments. With the aid of a sponge the
poorest equipped man may provide
facilities for himself, is wife and
children in this line of refreshment,
but the ordinary man is where a bath
tub is at his disposal. For such a
vigorous plunge is the best mode and
a vigorous rubbing with a heavy
crash-towel immediately after.
Too much stress cannot be laid up
on this recreative operation. It opens
the pores, it removes the dead skin,
it sets in motion that marvelous sys
tem, upon which health so largely de
pends. It gives the whole body a
tonic and freshens every faculty.
I have been using for many years a
sedative water suggested to me by
my old friend, Dr. Otto Fullgraff, for
20 years at the head of one of the
largest dispensaries, and to-day stand
ing at the very head of electricism with
that suggests. Take a whiskey bot
te, or any other utensil of that capac
ity, put in it a cup of salt, a half
ounce of camphor, a half ounce of
ammonia, fill the bottle with hot wva
ter arnd let it stand twenty-four hours,
then when prepared to bathe with a
sponge put a teaspoonful of this mix
ture, well shaken, in your basin to
bathe yourself.
You will be surprised at the dirt
that will come from the cleanest shin.
The ammonia will cleanse the
pores, the camphor and salt will im
part a beneficial effect which cannot
be exaggerated. Do this night and
morning, and you will find yourself
not only beautiful in skin, but made
strong and sturdy, healthful and,
therefore, good natured.
A Curious Case in Law.
A curious case was recently decided
by Judge Norton in Columbia.
In 1883 John B. Barnes was sen
tenced for two years in the peniten
tiarv, He was afterwvards pardoned
hy Governor Thompson on condition
tfiat he leave the State, njever to re
turn. He did ret urn, however, sev
ral weeks ago. on being ordered
to show cause why he should not be
~eaded to the penitentiary, his at
torer , M. H. Moore, argued that the
conditional pardon was illegal, as it
amounuted to banishment, which is
n0t prvie for by law. .Judge Nor
to decided against him and ordered
he priso~uer to he remnanded. Au
appall will be made to the Supreme
court.
"What is a fool killer, father ?" "A
fool killer, my boy is a little thing
called a cigarette."
Why don't some one prosecute Capt.
Walters, of Orangebuirg, for challeng
ing Mr. Cunningham? Here is a cap
ital chance to make an example of a
wilful law-breaker, and also test the
uli pulse.- - Genle 7w*-s
The Lime-Kiln Club
As the meeting opened in due form,
Brother Gardner called for the report
of the chairman of the committee on
medical science, and that individual
reported as follows on further tests
of the Brown-Sequard elixir of life:
6. The sixth test was made on Judge
Uncomfortable Jackson, and of his
own Lee will. This brother was not
named until he was 15 years old, and
the name is a very appropriate one.
He was never comfortable a moment
in his life, and his demeanor gave
outstanders the idea that he had pick
ed up a carpet tack as he sat down.
Four ounces of elixir taken from a
squint-eyed lamb was injected into
his right arm, and he was sent out to
walk around for half an hour. When
he returned all the wrinkles had dis
I appeared from his brow, he had a
grin of contentment on his face, and
he wanted to sit down on two chairs
and stay there all day. The judge
has only had one dose, but there
seems to be no danger of a return to
his old ways. His wife says he is so
meek and lazy that she is at a loss
how to handle him, and that he can't
be got out of bed in the morning
without throwing cold water on him.
7. Prof. Sundown Smith was one of
the first to apply for the elixir, but the
committee held off on him, owing to
his physique. He is nearly seven
feet tall and weighs only ninety-two
pounds, and they were afraid he hadn't
the constitution to stand it. He made
a formal demand, however, and was
given a six qunce dose of the elixir in
the left leg. He went away to buy a{
washboard to send home, and since
that time has not been seen by any of
his friends. It is supposed that the
liquid, which was taken from a moth
erless lamb, produced melancholy in
the feelings of the professor and drove
him to suicide. Search and inquiry
have been made in every direction, !
but he cannot be found.
8. The eighth victim was Rear Ad-'
miral Sarsaparilla Tompkins, one of
the oldest members in years, the club
has on its rolls. He is 72 years old,'
walks with two canes, and only at
tends the meetings monthly, and then
comes down 'in a one-horse wagon.
Of late years the only part he has
taken in the proceedings has been to
move that any matter advanced by
Shindig Watkins be laid on the tab'e.
It was thought safe to experiment a
little on the old man, as his death'
would be no great loss anyhow, and
the liquid was taken from a Berkshire
hog weighing about 250 pounds. The
old man was on hand and very anxious
and he was given ten ounces and
loaded into his wagon. He drove off
slowly and without excitement, but
when only two squares away he licked
the old horse into a run and began
shouting at the top of his voice. Noth
ing could be done with him at home.
He thrashed his wife and children,
cleaned out a grocery, and threw a
policeman over a fence. He declared
himself the boss of the town, and to
show his strength and agility he
jumped eleven feet and lifted a bar-!
rel of pork. He went to bed feelingI
like a man of 20, but the illusion was
only temporary. Some time after
midnight the old man got up, went
out to the woodshed and there hung
himself by the neck with a dog
chain.
TOO UScER.TAIN TO FOOL 'wITH.
"I was at fust led to believe dat de
elixir would fill a long-felt want," said
Brother Gardner as the report closed,
"but I hev now made up my mind
dat is too unsartin to fool wid. While
dere kin be no sorter queshun dat it
has greatly benefitted some of our!
members, it has acted jist de contra-!
r wid odders. It seems dat we can't!
depend on how it will act;, thus mak
in' all expeimnents dangerous, an' I'
darfore reckon we'd best let de hull!
thing drap. In co'se it would be!
werry nice if we could part wid dese
wrinkles an' bent backs, an' hey youth
return again. but I doan' believe dey's'
hit de right thing yet. De committee
will be discharged an' de experiments
discontinued."
A N~ BRAxcH.
A communication was received from
Judge Carryall Parker, Secretary,
stating that a branch Lime-Kiln Club
had just been organized at Pittsburg,
on the south side of the river, and
that its name would be the South
Side Lime-Kiln Club. The officers
are: Col Kyban Long, President;
Greentree Smith, Treasurer; Old Man
Jones, Keeper of the.Bear Trap; Lay.
'back Taylor, Outer Guard; Prof.
Blunt, Visiting Delegate and General1
Grand Bouncer.
It was stated that the branch started
business with $7 in cash, a second!
hand stave, four mottoes, a stuffed
'possum, and a dozen umbrellas.
They have taken great spirit, and will
no doubt push forward to success.
The above communication also con
tained an inquiry as to the best time~
to cut a bee tree, and Brother Gardner
replied:
"Dar' am seberal occashuns when
Ibee trees should be cut, an' seberal
odder occashuns when dey should be
left alone. If you want honey mighty
bad, you kin jump at de tree mos' any
time in August, but if you pist wvant
honey to sorter tone up de stomach
de bes' way is to wait till soine time
in October. I hey cut down bee trees
when de bees war' at hum, an' when
dey was gone away, an' I am free to
say dat I injoyed myself much de mos'
id latter case. De secretary will
answer to de effeck dat de wisest way
is to gin some odder chap half de honey
fur gaterin' de crap."
PENSTOCK BOBBED UP.
The secretary announced the fol
lowing dated at Austin, Tex.:
Jhrther~ Gar'dner-Sir: Several years
ago I applied for membership in your
valuable order, and would have been
elected, but your ruling caused me to'
be rejected.
I now address you upon a difterent
subject. I desire to purchase the fall
wool clip of the Lime-Kiln Club, and
would like to have your personal shear
ing in a separate package. Please bring
this matter before the club at your
nxt meeting. Yours in trade,
TOxnKwAY Bon.
The reading had been scarcely con
cluded when Elder Penstock sprang
to his feet with fire in his eyes and
shouted:
"I move that de secretary be fined
$10 for readin' sich an insultin com
municationi to dis club."
"Brudder Penstock," calmly replied
the President, "we is a public body.
'We can't expect to please ebery one."
"'Well, it has allus been called wool,
an' I reckon dat hits purty clus. If we
called it ha'r it would still kink up.
Callin it wool doan' hurt us."
"But what about the insult:'" per
sisted Penstock.
"Nuffin. Life is too short to go
round wid a chip on your shoulder, or
to be huntin' arter insults. We'll jist
lay de letter on de stove."
"But I appeal !"
"Penstock, sot down!" shouted the
President, as he brought his gavel
down with a bang. "If you feel dat
you has been insulted, go down to
Texas an' demand an apology, but
doan' seek to raise a row in dis lodge.
We doan' feel dat we has been hurt
any, an' we doan' propose to lose any
wind. De meetin' will now adjourn
for one week."
Who Can Re-Marry.
The Revised Statutes of South Car
olina allow re-marriage for six causes,
viz:
1. Absence beyond the seas for sev
en years.
2. Absence anywhere for seven
years, when one does not know the
other to be living.
3. Imprisonment for life.
4. Marriage under the age of con
sent.
5. Divorce (for any cause) under
the jurisdiction of a conipetent tri
bunal.
6. Where the first marriage is de
clared void by the sentence of a corn
petert : uirt.
HE SHOWED HIS GOOD SENSE.
Our traveling men as a rule are men of
ively disposition. They make a good im
pression on the public by their engaging
manners, but when the true gentleman
with kind and sympathetic, impulses and
that feeling of tenderness, known only to
men of the highest order is to be shown,
the "drummer" is not behind his fellows.
Capt. C. F. Hoke, one of the most widely
known traveling men in the South writes:
"I got from you a bottle of Dr. Westmore
land's Calisaya Tonic for my little daugh
ter, who had been prostrated with fever
and was very weak and had no appetite.
She had not used more than half the bottle
before she had an excellent appetite and re
gained her strength with astonishing rapid
ity. I believe it to be an excellent tonic."
This great tonic is sold by Dr. L. W. Net

S. A. NETTLES,
Editor Manning Times, Manning, S. C.
We are pleased to state that we now have in store and are daily receiving one of the most
COMPLETE STOCKS
of Merchandise ever brought to the interior. Our stock consists of
All Lines of Merchandise.
Hardware, Dry Goods, Groceries, Crockery,
Queensware, Tinware, and in fact any and all articles and items that the average man or woman
could want. We have on hand one of the finest lines of Cooks ever brought to any market. We
have in this line of Cooks all numbers and sizes. Small enough for the young man just mar
ried, and large enough for a family of t wenty. We have taken great pains this year in the se
lection of our stock of
Fancy and Staple Groceries,
and all we can say is that we want all the good accounts in town and in the country. We can
and will sell von all the goods you want cheaper than you can buy them, and all you will la&ve
to do to conv'ince yourself of -this fact is to comle and see, and vou will be covin9. that our
stock by far is supserior to anything in thisteetioni of tbg Stat;
We keep no goods but what we buy from first
bands, and all such we can recommend.
Besides this we hav e abolished the old1 mode of transacting buin~less In former years, we
owing to the fact that we like all Amercans like to kep up with the fashion and the ways of all
around us, have sold goods too high in order to make a good showing of assets.
But the writer had a dream. He was in his otlice, lie had ledgers pdiedl high, that represented
thousands of dollars. :3-8 claims out ot dlate. barred by thme Statute of limitation, 3-8 barred by
the right of the landlord. and 2-8S barred by tne drought and expirationi of wind im the lungs of
old ijones and blinid mules. All these amounts kept runiing on: each year they were footed
up 's sses-a bg bbbl mdetiledwith air. and like the byssoap b)ubble soon burst, ten
ant gonme, account worthikess. Hec had run the tenant in the spirmg and summer, when naught
'was in sight: the landlord took him up when the cotton camne mn. lie awoke, and swore that he
wudnever folwsc uiesagain; t htb ih as the prospects might be, that armed with
all the wisdom and energy lie could commnand. andi closiing his ear to the suffering of the past,
He would forever quit the old mode, and change
his business to something tangible.
So this year we have done so--we w ill sell yon all the goods voni want for credit or cash at
lower pie'ces than y-ou ever b~ought at beftore: but let's have somie idea when you are going to pay.
We~ don't wan~t anyr more imillenmniumn accounmts or notes. We may not be present to collect them
